From one who only calls in here once in a blue moon and doesn't live here. Every time I call in, I read some thread or other about how RT is falling apart, had it's day etc. etc. How all the old posters have gone, how people don't post any more etc. etc. So, thinking about it logically, if all these people have left and the place hasn't got any better; obviously the problem wasn't among those that left was it.......so what does that tell you ?? As far as having to adhere rigidly to a topic, like the whole experience was being orchestrated in some North Korean fashion; instead of being a relaxed chat forum, where conversations flow freely and even digress ( God forbid ) and maybe somebody even injects the odd bit of humour ( 100 lashes for that too no doubt ).....it's no wonder most people can only tolerate it for so long and then go back to the real World.
